Stable Talent Advisors DNA

Objective. Balanced. Strategic. Engaging. Compelling. Trustworthy. Resourceful.

We’re objective in that we know our role. We’re balanced in that we manage expectations of multiple parties. We’re strategic in that we help clients gain a competitive advantage. We’re engaging because we know a lot about what’s going on. We tell compelling stories to sell opportunities and gain trust of people seeking advice on important decisions. We’re resourceful because we find the talent our clients usually can’t. These traits are the foundation of our model…..and it works.

Our Process

Our process, The Impact Method, is a seven step process that delivers results. Despite all the advancements in tools, technology, even Artificial Intelligence, a search process will inevitably benefit from walking through each of these steps:

Discovery

A deep dive into the nuances of the search, including company and cultural overview, organizational/reporting structure, roles & responsibilities, job function and keys to a great hire.

Research

Great research is the key to launching an efficient search. Our experience guides us through the expansive amounts of data so we are focused on the appropriate candidates.

Identification

Once we structure our research we identify the right targets for outreach.

Targeting

This is the “Art” of recruiting. Knowing how to attract candidates is a skill that has been honed by more than 20 years of experience.

Screening

Knowing how to interview flushes out bad fits and brings forth candidates that fit 4 main filters: Motivated to make a change, has the appropriate skill set, fits the salary range, and is interested in your opportunity/company. Generally, a misalignment across one of these 4 filters will not yield results.

Calibrate

Calibrating a search requires timely post-interview feedback so that our consultants learn and apply findings from these discussions. To hit the target, client interview feedback is the most effective way to shorten a search process

Agreement

Bringing both parties to an agreement often requires anticipation of candidate request that only the most seasoned professionals understand. This makes for a very seamless and enjoyable process for candidates and clients. We excel at and bringing two parties together to form an agreement.

Solving Talent Challenges.

Stable offers several custom solutions to solve your toughest hiring challenges. Whether it’s a confidential replacement, or the need to hire a team at scale with controlled fees, Stable finds a way to work effectively and affordably for clients.

Retained / Contingency
